Don’t just write a check
Posted by Sarah Jordan
With all of the great fundraising events in your region and nationwide, as a business owner, it’s hard to decide which one to donate to. To help, don’t feel like you should just write a check—get involved!
What fundraising committees love, even more than a check in the mail, is community involvement. Volunteer, show up to cheer on participants, or even….participate! But don’t just be one of the crowd by sending in 50 dollars. Your staff will not only have a joint activity to have fun with, but your business can also get some great PR out of it.
During the summer there are numerous fundraising activities to get involved in, one of which is the MS 150. This 150-mile bike race raises money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and has rides all over the country that you can take part in by riding, volunteering, donating, or cheering on the day of the race.
PaySimple is actually teaming up with Merrill Lynch to ride in the Colorado Chapter MS 150. Check out our PaySimple Team page to donate to a rider or read about the event. Your company too can take part in this great event.
